Mary Elizabeth Kwiatkowski

August 30, 1952 - May 13, 2021

Mary Elizabeth Kwiatkowski passed away on May 13th, 2021 at the age of 68 in Pittsburgh, PA, after a hard fought, two-year battle against cancer. She left this life surrounded by family and holding the hand of her loving and devoted husband of over 48 years, Vincent Kwiatkowski. Mary was born in New Rochelle, NY and lived in NY, PA and MI. She met her future husband one momentous night in Michigan on the fender of a tractor during a hayride blind date. Vince and Mary married a year later and raised three children, whom Mary cherished above all else. Mary dedicated herself to her children's care during her 20's and 30's but returned to school and earned her bachelor's degree during her 40's. Her love of family was followed closely by her love of books. A true bibliophile, Mary was a voracious reader and especially loved mystery novels. Perhaps her favorite place to visit was the local library, which she did often and always left carrying a large stack of books. Mary is survived by her husband Vince, their three children - Adam, Anthony and Megan - and their families, including her two beloved granddaughters. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dominick and Moya Pastore. She will be remembered lovingly by her brothers, Gerry and Dominick, and her sisters, Moya and Deirdre, and their families. The viewing will be held on Monday, May 17th starting at 1pm followed by the funeral service at 3:30 pm at D'Alessandro Funeral Home and Crematory Ltd. (4522 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201). In lieu of flowers, we ask that you honor Mary's passion for reading by making a donation to the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (www.carnegielibrary.org ; 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213) or honor her battle against cancer by making a donation to the American Cancer Society (https://donate3.cancer.org ).
